Fans of MiHoYo’s successful action RPG Genshin Impact may still be a little miffed at the way the company handled the game’s first anniversary celebration, but that doesn’t mean they’re not still playing. Genshin Impact earned over $1 billion on mobile devices in the first six months after launch, and that’s not to mention the other platforms the gacha-based title can be played on. So when it came time to celebrate the one-year anniversary in September, fans expected a little more than some token free rewards with little monetary value.
After a bit of Genshin Impact review bombing, MiHoYo extended an olive branch and improved the rewards slightly, which appeased some players. Despite the minor speed bump, numbers show that the game’s popularity is still growing and the monthly player count increasing. For the most part, it seems many players, including some who were upset by the anniversary rewards, are still playing and enjoy the game. And that’s good, because details about Genshin Impact’s Update 2.2 were just revealed, and MiHoYo has some interesting characters, monsters, and events planned for the coming months.
To further celebrate the one-year anniversary of Genshin Impact, MiHoYo has teamed up with Razer to create some co-branded gaming gear that includes a chair, mouse, and mousepad. All of the equipment is reskinned versions of already existing Razer accessories, so potential buyers can look up reviews to see if the items are suitable for them, with or without the cosmetic change. Each item also comes with a bonus code that can be redeemed for in-game rewards like Primogems, Mora, Hero’s Wit, or Adventurer’s Experience.
The most noticable item is the Razer Iskur X gaming chair that has been revamped with navy blue and ivory colored synthetic leather. The front features the Razer logo and some Teyvat runes along the sides, while the back has a stylized silhouette of Paimon’s head with her name beneath. The second item is a Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro, a gaming mouse that has been decorated with stars and a deep blue color to match the chair. The Razer Goliathus Medium gaming mouse pad features Paimon’s smiling face on the front and a non-slip rubber base on the back. These special Genshin Impact Razer gaming accessories are not yet available and so prices haven’t been revealed, but interested fans can sign up on the Razer website to be notified when they go on sale.
In addition to the prefabricated Razer gaming gear, Genshin Impact players who want something more personalized can head over to Razer Customs, an online service that enables gamers to customize mice, mouse pads, and phone cases using official partner designs. Although they seem to not be available yet, Genshin Impact designs will be coming to the site soon. A custom-tuned THX Game Profile for Genshin Impact is also now available for compatible Razer gaming headsets via the THX Spatial Audio app.
Genshin Impact is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5.
